How about:

   ls -LF | grep \/ | while read dirname; do
   cd $dirname
   # do stuff
   done

or:

   find . -maxdepth 1 -type d | while read dirname; do
   cd $dirname
   # do stuff
   done

or even:

   find . -maxdepth 1 -type d ! -name ".*" | while read dirname; do
   cd $dirname
   # do stuff
   done
